So, at 4:45 p.m Vegas time on Saturday, Oct. 17. I’ll be sharing the Martell Experience with these folks and the massive audience at Blog World Expo. But I’m blogging about it now so you can be part of the action!

What should I tell the Vegas crowd? Would any of our customers, staff or friends want me to mention anything specific?
